Hi,
I'm running syslog-ng v. 3.2.4 on SLES 10. There are three defined MySQL DB destinations. Everything is running fine, until the MySQL server resets the connection(s) after a defined idle time if no messages are send to this database. The problem is that syslog-ng doesn't reconnect the disconnected connection ;)
I have to restart syslog-ng to bring it back to life.
Is there any posssibility to reopen the DB connection instead of disabling the idle timeout on the MySQL side?

It should retry in 60 seconds. Are you sure it doesn't? (As far as I remember, you can change that value to be shorter, with time_reopen(5) for example.) -- |8]
